Target list
The ARISE program aims to enable large-scale biomonitoring using, among others, DNA methods. We strive to create
an infrastructure that enables high-throughput species identification, as well as molecular biodiversity discovery
and monitoring. With plans to sequence 350,000 specimens, we aim to cover at least 95% of all Dutch species,
ranging from plants and insects we see around us, to fungi hidden in our soil and the multitude of planktonic
organisms inhabiting our water. This target list is where we keep track of which species of the Dutch flora and
fauna have been sequenced for the DNA reference library, both in-house at Naturalis Biodiversity Center and the
Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute and at other laboratories around the world. By comparing all that has
been sequenced to the current list of Dutch species as recorded by Nederlandsesoorten.nl, we can find the gaps
in our reference database, and create a target list for species to be collected and sequenced within the ARISE program.

Frequently Ask Questions
Which taxonomy backbone are you using?
The project uses the taxonomy provided by the
Dutch Species Register.
Data are downloaded from the Netherlands Biodiversity API (NBA):
http://api.biodiversitydata.nl/v2/taxon/dwca/getDataSet/nsr.
Current version: 01/09/2023
Which barcode data are currently inserted?
Barcode data come from two sources:
- Public data from the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD) has been included in this overview as well, to be able to
see which gaps in the Dutch barcode database may already be covered by using international data, which helps in
the prioritization of collection efforts. BOLD data is taxonomically curated and in most cases the sequences are
linked to voucher specimens in collections, improving the value of the reference sequences. (Retrieved 01/09/2023)
- ARISE
- Naturalis Biodiversity Center (August 2022)
- Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute (September 2022)
What information is stored in the locality column?
The locality column holds the country or list of countries where the specimens have been collected.
How is computed the overall completeness?
The value displayed is the mean value (average) of the % barcode coverages (All barcodes) of Animalia, Plantae and Fungi Kingdoms.
